WE'RE STILL CELEBRATING

5/10/2026

Mom left this world in December 2015 - eleven years ago - and it seems like just yesterday we were laughing together in Iowa or in Dallas or in Maine. Whenever I see something she wrote or catch a reminder of her talents as a party person I start to relive times together. Mom existed as one of a kind person always giving and making your day extra special in some way.

At her memorial we passed out that luscious candy that she made over many years. She taught Leon how to master the talent of making that peanut brittle which we all enjoy around the holidays. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. You certainly are missed.

What very kind words you spread, Ellen. I know my mother was proud of all her children because each of us in our own way brought something to the table. I miss her, Ellen!
